Siddharth Anand On Fighter Receiving Legal Notice Over Hrithik Roshan-Deepika Padukone's Kiss: IAF Gave Us...

Fighter Controversy: Fighter, after having a constantly rising collections at the box office, recently drew attention for a scene. Though the India's biggest aerial action drama, directed by Siddharth Anand, was praised for the performances by the leading actors, namely Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, and others, it also attracted attention recently after an IAF officer raised concerns, asserting that the depiction of the intimate moment, especially in the military attire context, is seen as disrespectful to the honour and sanctity associated with the uniform.

Furthermore, the conversation was heightened as the characters were portrayed as members of an elite Indian Air Force team.

A leading portal reached out to Siddharth Anand and asked about the question raised by an Air Force officer from Assam, Saumya Deep Das, who claimed that the particular kissing scene was an insult to the IAF. To which, Siddharth told ETimes, "This film is in complete conjunction with the IAF. IAF has been a co-collaborator on the film and has been a huge associate partner on our film. This film has gone through meticulous procedures with the IAF, right from the submission of the script, to the production planning, viewing the film before the censor saw it on the censor board, watching it again at the IAF, reviewing the film after the censor, and then giving us a physical copy of the NOC No Objection Certificate."

Siddharth Anand, known for directing Pathaan and War, once again donned the director's hat for Fighter. Viacom18 Studios and Marflix Pictures have collaborated to produce this film, featuring prominent roles played by Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Sanjeeda Shaikh.
